Fish & Chips

Two women hold each other's gaze and hands with a gift box between them.
A woman standing the foreground with a furrowed brow, another woman is standing silhouetted in the background doorway.
A woman leans against a doorframe, another woman looks on from within a bedroom.

Synopsis

Fab plans a surprise for Cassie on their first anniversary, but Cassie's rough day, coupled with a party popper mishap, leads to a heated argument over dinner options. What starts as a takeaway tiff over Caribbean or pizza spirals into an identity battle, revealing deep-seated resentments about their racial and queer identities. With half of the film shot in one take, FISH & CHIPS is a tender, unflinching exploration of mixed-heritage identity, queer love, and the fine line between connection and conflict.
